Vanity’s in!

Look at this all white, glossy and super accommodative Godmorgon vanity in its pride. I can't wait to fill in those drawers with my "oh-so-minimal-to-the-point-of-obsolete" beauty products:) But jokes aside, I'm glad there is this much storage as we don't intend to have a medicine cabinet or any shelves in this room. I was worried that it would be bulky for our tight space but once we put it up, it fit in like it was meant to be there. V adjusted the legs so the vanity is up to our desired height and is in a perfect alignment with the subway tile on the wall. There were some issues with water pipes being in the way of the drawers and in order for them to close properly, V had to cut the main pipe and shorten it. It was a bit of a hassle but all worked out in the end, and we’re now one object closer to being done with this room!
Oh, yes, the other major piece got installed this weekend – the toilet. I swear, I was hoping that I won’t have to blog about it, but I kinda feel I have to so whoever reads this won’t make the same mistake we did. Always, always MEASURE the rough-in for your toilet before you purchase one.
We didn’t. It just didn’t even occur to us to take measurements(duh, right?). So this beautiful, dual-flash, modern and minimalistic one had to be returned due to our own negligence (Live and learn!).
It simply didn’t fit between the wall and the sewage drain. So we had to go back to the store and look for one that had an exact 10” rough-in. The only one available with that measurement was this fella that I’m not crazy about.
I guess I’ll have to make my peace with this piece. After all it isn’t really a matter of how one looks but more importantly - how one works, and so far - just fine:).
